I went to the dentist earlier this week for my yearly checkup…you know what really disturbs me? The last couple of times I’ve been there, they put this heavy body-cover sorta thing on me before they take x-rays of my teeth, which, I’m assuming, is for protection against radiation from the x-rays. But before that, and I mean for like the 17 or 18 years I’ve been going there, they never did that, so does that mean I’ve already been exposed to unhealthy amounts of radiation???
On a totally unrelated note, in the men’s washroom here on our floor at work, on the door of the stall there’s a paper sign stuck to it that says “Please do not flush items that will clog the toilet.” Except somebody decided to scratch out the ‘items that will clog the’ part. I mean, seriously…at work? Maybe that was funny back in eighth grade, or even in high school, but come on…I think the average age of the full timers on my floor is probably about 40.

I swear, my MP3 discman has a mind of its own…I always leave it on shuffle mode, but just the other day, I was listening to 2pac’s “me and my girlfriend”, and then the next track that came up was the new Jay-Z/Beyonce version of the same song. And this isn’t the first time this has happened, it happens with other songs too, like with remixes of Kylie Minogue’s “love at first sight”, or it’ll play a couple of songs by the same artist in a row. It’s like it knows.

Has anyone else noticed how the Chinese kid in those flu shot subway ads is missing one of his front teeth? At first I thought somebody had just coloured in the tooth with a black pen or something, but it seems like he looks like that in every ad I’ve seen…why would they do that? It’s freaky…
